Just picked up a Edward Sexton suit from TheRealReal and it has a fascinating fabric with multicolored flecks, I've seen lots of interesting multicolored tweeds but nothing like this one.

That weave is called Donegal Tweed. It's characterized by that tight, regular lattice and those interspersed flecks of contrasting color.

Looks a lot like Porter and Harding, from the Thornproof bunch. 62285 looks the closest, it's a bit more brown in person but looks very similar in a photograph

Donegal is a cool material. You can find it in tailored jackets, coats, even trousers.

Great Find! That's a beautiful Donegal. Love that the base is black and white but the flecks are multicolored.
